Claimant says:
"I bought 6 'mailing spots' (for a total of $2500.) from F & F in the hopes of getting back over 30k in profit + my original investment of $2500 according to Bill Jacobs Sr's math explaining they were going to sell these vouchers to businesses to make the money/profit & they needed us 'mailing partners' to help pay/share for the direct mailing side of the business.

We were to be paid last Friday, June 28th. On Monday July 1st I not only did not receive any profit, but I didn't even get my original investment back & instead got a letter saying "the mailing was not as successful as we hoped for, but we may try again next year"" & sent "credit refunds" totalling $4000 to be invested with F & F again or their affiliates starting Sept 1- Jan 1(in new business ventures) & the refunds expire next Mar 1, 2014! I also received an airline voucher for $500 & a hotel voucher for $500 for my supposed original investment of $1000. I bought 2 spots for $500 each, & 4 discounted spots they were selling for $375 each so my 'original' investment came to $2500, not $1000 & I want it back in 'real money'! As far as I'm concerned they grossly misrepresented their business deal. I can't believe they didn't make ANY profit to share!

I'm a retired widow & took the last of my IRA savings to invest in this company I guess now very unwisely, but I want & need my $2500 back in 'real money' as I gave them and I'm keeping the vouchers in the hopes they will make good on them!"

  • Yes, because I also, invested 850.00 dollars of my hard earned money. Instead of my original investent back and a profit (as promised). I received a $500 travel cetificate and 2 credit refunds totaling 2 thousand dollars. The results package did nor arrive until 7/5/13 instead of the promised 6/28/13 deadline. When, I attempted to contact this company. I received a taped prerecorded message and no one attempted to call me back. This company did not live up to what it claimed and I was very disapponted.
    I would at least like Fun and Fuel Promotions to return my orginal investment . Fun and Fuel Promotions should not make claims they cannot stand behind.
